The Squared Circle has been listed for sale less than a month after owner and wrestler Lisa Marie Varon announced on Twitter that she was moving to California and would no longer run the Lincoln Park area restaurant. Varon opened the wrestling-themed eatery with husband Lee Varon in 2013 and was a fixture there up until the last few months.

The asking price for the 3,125 square foot restaurant is $875,000, according to a posting on jamesoncommercial.com.

“After word reached the Internet that Lisa was taking a reduced role, we received inquiries from parties from all over the world interested in purchasing the business,” said Lee Varon by email Monday. “We retained a commercial real estate agent to manage those calls, should an exceptional offer come in. ... We believe the likely outcome is that Lisa will be the owner of The Squared Circle for many years to come. Meanwhile, it's business as usual.”

David Otunga has remerged on WWE programming after 10 months away, only now the Chicago lawyer-turned-WWE Superstar has taken on a different role with the company than the one he was accustomed to. The muscular Otunga has been squeezing into suits and v-neck sweaters the last four weeks for his role as an analyst on WWE Network’s “Raw” pre-show.

“It kind of fits with what I’ve been doing as a legal analyst on HLN and CNN,” said Otunga over the phone Tuesday. “...It’s great to be back. I was off for a while and missed it greatly. (WWE) is family.”

Before his return, Otunga had last been seen competing on WWE programming in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 30 in April. Months passed and there was still no sign of Otunga on “Raw” or “Smackdown,” leading some to question whether he had been fired. Otunga described his role during that time as more of a part timer who was still training occasionally at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando and wrestling a handful of non...

The “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” franchise will have expansion on its mind over the next few weeks.

Wolf Films – the Dick Wolf production company behind both Chicago procedural dramas – will use the 19th episode of the current “Chicago Fire” season to introduce a potential medical spinoff called “Chicago Med.” You might recall “Chicago P.D.” was introduced as a planted spinoff during the first season of “Chicago Fire.” The “Chicago Med” episode is scheduled to film Thursday through March 14 and will air April 7, according to a “Chicago Fire” spokesperson.

If NBC likes what it sees in the episode, it’ll give “Chicago Med” the green light to move forward as a separate show and then who knows what would happen after that? Maybe a Chicago law spinoff? Maybe a Chicago government spinoff? Maybe the Chicago Film Office has a statue built in Dick Wolf’s honor?

Paula Patton has been cast as the lead in ABC's drug cartel drama pilot “Runner,” according to Variety.

The TV show is based on the Turkish series, “Sons,” and is scheduled to film in Chicago next month. Variety reports that Patton – known for her roles in 2009’s “Precious” and 2011’s “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” -- will play Lauren Marks, “a woman whose perfect life is torn apart by one twist of fate. To uncover the truth, Lauren must follow a trail of lies that take her into the world of cartels and illegal gun trade between the U.S. and Mexico.”

“Thirtysomething” actor Peter Horton is one of the executive producers on "Runner." The Chicago-based 4 Star Casting will cast extras for the production.
